New Match And Special Guest Referee Added To Impact Homecoming, Updated Card

Impact Wrestling announced this week some new additions to their upcoming Homecoming PPV, which will take place at The Asylum in Nashville, Tennessee on January 6.
The first announcement was Gail Kim being named the special guest referee for Impact Knockouts Champion Tessa Blanchard vs. Taya Valkyrie.

In the video below, Josh Mathews said Impact management felt like for this special match a special guest referee was needed, Kim would come out to the stage. Blanchard was not at all happy with this decision as she yelled at the Impact Hall of Famer from the ring.

At Homecoming there'll be a special referee to lay down the law!

After weeks of animosity between the two wrestlers, Moose vs. Eddie Edwards in a Falls Count Anywhere Match was announce.

As noted, Brian Cage chose "Option C" to drop the X-Division title and go after Johnny Impact's World Championship at the upcoming PPV. An Ultimate X Match was announced for the show and we now know all four contenders vying for the title: Jake Crist, Ethan Page, Rich Swann, and Trey Miguel.
